The safety vale, which also acts as pressure indicator:
While pressure in the cooker is building up, the
RED pres-
sure indicator
is visible and the cooker is locked (never
attempt to open it using force).
If the pressure indicator is not visible, the cooker is no
longer under pressure. It can then be opened.
If for any unexpected reason the pressure regulator valve
does not release steam as it should, this valve will open in
accordance with the prescribed values.
The locking system:
Place the lid on the cooker so that the locking markings
are opposite each other and slide lid and cooker hand-
les one above the other. The sliding locking-catch clicks
audibly into place. As a pressure cooker generates very
high pressure and steam temperature, under the subject
OPENING please be certain to observe the instructions
on pages 8 and 10 of these instructions for use.
The safety window:
An additional safety element is the safety window let into
the top of the lid. If there is excessive pressure in the
cooker, the sealing ring forces its way out through this
window, and the steam can escape.
